Team Russia - Promising Young Skaters

[adelia]

The only major problems with Dima really are the 3A (which has been getting better) and the mental state (which is much harder to fix).

They are over rewarding fall quads. That is a way of encouraging young skaters to go for difficult elements but not care about the clean program as a whole in my opinion.

Well, I do agree that falls should be punished more, but still, nobody is forced to go that route - as we saw at Worlds, there are other ways to score well with a clean program (if not well enough for the podium).

I think Dmitry has great expressiveness for his age & is much more than just a jump machine. But yes, he needs to become more consistent for sure.

Looked easy as a triple!

I agree, but that has little to do with the thread. From what I've seen of Dmitry Aliev this season, he's actually quite an expressive skater, not just a quad machine.

There is not a lot of talk of young Russian ice dancers on this thread. Last year on the JGP I fell in love with Anastasia Shpilevaya/Grigory Smirnov. It's not always easy for me to know all the technical details in ice dance, but I love the expression these two show:

Any chance for them in the future?

It's frustrating, but I wasn't surprised. This season Sasha lacked focus coach. Took advantage of Buyanova.
